You literally were your moms twin at 11 years old

i love the versatility of mai. She can go from riding in a Lamborghini and living in a penthouse to showering with a bucket driving a moped. it really shows how grateful she is because she never complains about a thing.

As a fellow asian, I'd like to say a huge thank you for showing us your beautiful country as well as embracing your culture. This vlog made me appreciate my filipino culture and heritage. Thank you for not only representing Vietnamese people but also all of us asians, Mai! You deserve all the love and support you're getting from the entire world! Love seeing this new side of you. I'm soooo looking forward to your travel vlogs!!!

Love that she is showing her humble home and true to herself despite her life style is different in NYC. I think we all can appreciate that authenticity from Mai. Glad to know she is doing a lot better now

Can we just appreciate how cute mai's family is especially her grandma.

this kind of travel video really shows the heart and intentions of a Maiphammy to her root. I really hope she'll start doing her own podcast soon, this woman is not just independently funny but is also so wise.

As a Vietnamese person who was not able to grow up with the culture, it's truly heartwarming to watch this video and see you traverse through the homeland and relive wholesome memories. I am so proud of you and watching videos like this make me feel a little less alone in the world when it comes to feeling a bit of an outsider when it comes to going back to your roots, thank you so much!

the fact that she chose nostalgic Vietnamese songs for background music!!! such an amazing person who knows where she came from and her ancestors

idk but mai in vietnam is a totally different person! she sounds so calm, content and peaceful. LOVE U GIRLIEE

Omgggg ariana what are you doing hereeeeeee

as a vietnamese girl myself, you really earned a different level of respect from me Mai. being born and raised in american waters, as well as fear of losing my touch in how fluent i am in Vietnamese, i’ve been a little anxious about traveling back to VN. however you have shown me that even with the slight language barrier, you still have an amazing time!!! i will be visiting VN for tết and will for sure use your video to help guide me to different places to visit!!! much love from Virginia ☻ chúc chị mạnh khỏe!!

This is such wholesome content with your grandma, I love that you're revisiting and remembering the places you lived in during your childhood. As someone who immigrated to the US from Sri Lanka when I was 7 years old, this reminds me of when I would visit and be reminded of familiar places from my childhood. My parents were farmers so we lived in the rural areas as well. Also (not me writing a whole essay lol), I found the part where you said that your trauma blocked out most of your childhood so relatable lol

This amazing person, vlogged at eleven, and now, 20 years old and has 3 million subs!! Am so glad that Mai has reached this milestone in her life! She truly deserves all the love and support she gets. Congrats gurlie! ❤❤

I’ve always grown up not wanting to travel Vietnam due to my family’s heartaches and paranoia. This has to be one of my favourite vlogs and healed me in a way as a Vietnamese kid born outside of Vietnam.

Omg I love the way you select song in your vlog, music during the 60s in Viet Nam is golden era "nhạc vàng"

this made me really think because i am genuinely so proud of this generation for making cultures feel more valid and honest now because i grew up never thinking much about my culture but i realised that was because people didn’t really understand asian culture or thought it was different but more particularly a weird kind of different. i used to hate how my filipino family and friends would take up so much space in public places and talk so loudly but i’ve grown comfortable with that and realise that that’s just what family and home is. i love how people’s cultures are being more embraced these past couple of years. i feel more proud and happy to be within an asian group and culture 🫶🏽 anyways para over this video just made me feel really proud :’)

FIRST OFF HOW FREAKING CUTE IS MAI's GRANDMA. I can't even imagine the time and the effort put into this one video, I really admire the hard work you put into your job. CONGRATULATIONS ON 3 MILLLIIII❤️❤️❤️❤️

Girl you always felt like a sister to me but i literally cried during this video because i felt soooo much more closer to you. As a subscriber from a not so developed country, this video felt like my childhood. I literally love you so much and you inspire me a lot. congrats on 3m

The vlog she did when she was 11 was so sweet, people who have big dreams deserve to see them come true, so glad it's happening for Mai ❤

I'm 23 Viet Asian American and I haven't been back to Vietnam since I was 6 yrs old. I've always felt like I didn't deserve to go back bc of how "American" I am, that I wouldn't appreciate the culture enough, or that my relatives will judge me. This vlog has literally changed that mindset - I want to go back and see my family and explore Vietnam now that I'm older. You inspire me, Mai. Love you so much

you were only 6 when you left so it wasn’t your fault yk!! You should go back watching this vlog made me want to travel there. Y’all culture looks so fun, peaceful and the food looks AMAZINGGG. Everything is organic and raw which the usa doesn’t have. I think you’d have fun, dont knock it till you try it 💞!

I am Vietnamese, but I've lived in Australia my whole life and was supposed to go to Vietnam during the holidays to meet relatives. And see how my grandparents lived for most of their lives before moving to Australia during the Vietnam war. Unfortunately, I didn't get to Vietnam due to some difficulties, however seeing Mai travelling there and showing Vietnamese culture through their food, routines, markets etc. I feel like I got to experience going to Vietnam for a little bit. Thank you Mai

I like how she literally films the insides of the home & the bath/toilet & how she showers. It looks just like any average south east asian village home or a more traditional home. Like we all literally bath like that, standing with buckets of cold water. Thanks for this video. ASEAN represent!

so fun to watch

Jeannie Mai from "Hello Hunnay" channel also put out videos series from her Vietnam trip. I absolutely loved her last video where she climbed Yen Tu, but she showed some amazing hotels/resorts during her trip.

Mai being reunited with her grandma was so sweeet💗

these videos are literally everything. The way she includes everyone in these and keeps it personal too is just amazing. Congrats on 3 mil Mai!!!

Wow Vietnam has definitely moved up my places to travel to list, thank you so much for explaining the culture as you were doing each thing. This trip clearly meant a lot to you and we are so grateful you choose to share stuff like this Mai x thank you x

This made me want to go to Vietnam even more! I didn't grow up with anyone to Vietnamese or to take me and show me their hometowns so I had to teach myself about my own culture. Your bà nội is so adorable!!!! Love you

Ok but can we just appreciate how much Mai shows the beauty of Vietnam in every location?? Like genuinely I wanna go there now because of this video. Even the background music she uses is just lovely Edit: Not to mention all the people, they all seem so nice and chill!

it’s crazy how can everything change,when you put effort and love in the things that you do,congrats Mai on 3 mln subscribers❤

Your grandma is soooo cutee 🥺so happy you got to relive this moment as an adult also visually you never disappoint i feel like i'm there with you! Vietnam is soooo pretty

This made me genuinely so emotional, I’m a young boy living in Italy planning on going to college abroad and I just picture myself coming back to my hometown and reliving all the emotions as you did. Lots of love

girl, the way you handle yourself, your so comfortable in what you do, you own it and you enjoy spending time with yourself is what I look up to so much. i’m getting there. also, the asian representation!!! the food!! vietnam looks amazing and will definitely be on my bucket list :-)

I’m so focused on this video. I loveeee that you show all sides of Vietnam not just the touristy parts. And love how ur educating people on Asian/Vietnam culture even to the tiniest detail about people sharing food

I love how happy Mai was when she was on the jet ski like not even just on the jet ski but it’s so nice getting to see Mai relaxed and enjoying her time with her family. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

The proudest thing when Mai speaks Vietnamese is that she always says "Dạ" when she starts to say a sentence. "Dạ" is always used when talking to an older person and this shows that she is very well brought up. Well done Mai!!!!

the amount of effort put into this video is insane. she's just so good at what she does

this whole video felt like a big warm hug... made me feel so safe that you showed your culture in such a beautiful chill heartfelt way. may be one of my all time fave videos you've made mai ♡

I’m a kurdish girl and i watch your videos and you’re the only youtuber that i can watch 24/7 cuz you’re so real and cute and idk somehow my inner child is so safe watching you🥺🤍 love you so much hope you have the greatest life

Heyyyy fellow Viet here, its so nice to see another person who appreciate their culture this much I'm going to Viet for the first time soon this is making me so excited

The beginning only shows how far she has come, and how far she will go. Mai is such an inspiring person and as a fan I am honestly so proud of her. Thank you so much Mai for being an inspiration to many of us and being someone who always brings joy and comfort. Congrats on 3 mil! ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so proud of Mai for how far she’s come and how much of an impact she’s made on her audience💕

The footage of you as a little kid 🥹 so cute! As a fellow asian living in America with family over seas this warmed my heart ❤ wish I could afford to visit my family in Malaysia more… so crazy what a different world it is.

So proud of you, Mai!! You’ve grown so much and I’ve loved watching your videos for a while now! Love how you stay humble and kind, even as you grow!

i love the little moments where you explain why something is the way it is in Vietnam. I love seeing you express your culture💞

I love how Mai is so humble to be like “no way” at 3 million when we all know she is so deserving of that and more 💕💐

This video is everything - the vlogs from when you were younger, to you sharing your family and your culture🙌🏽 this is beautiful🥰

Every single video you put Mai you are so yourself but in this one especially! It's so nice to see someone else travel so comfortably, not afraid to wipe out a camera. You are so relaxed and confident in yourself it's very inspiring. Also I've never been to Vietnam so to get to see it from this perspective is so cool!

LOVED EVERY SECOND!!! The food, the culture, the views, your grandma (I'm obsessed with her, she's so cool and cute hahah), the EDITING plss it was all so beautiful!!

I love how much effort Mai puts in her video, like she's out there risking her phone for vlogging on a freaking jet ski

Hi! Being Vietnamese, I felt so proud and idk all the good emotions watching this vlog! Thank you for highlighting our culture so beautifully! The quality of the video n editing overall was just slay

It was so incredible to see Vietnam from your eyes. My grandpa was born and raised in Hội an and it's a life goal of mine to visit one day. I'm so glad I was able to see a little glimpse of this beautiful country with your vlog. I can't wait for the day I get to go. Thank you for sharing and congrats on 3 million♡

I backpacked through Vietnam a few years ago and this video brought back so many wonderful memories of one of the best times in my life ! We ended up staying for a whole month because we loved it so much over there. I usually don't want to go back to countries I've been to before but I 100% want to go back to Vietnam someday. & congrats for 3M Mai !!

Thank you for showing us the Vietnamien culture , so beautiful. This Vlog was such a peaceful insight. Congrats on 3 million ❤

i love how you capture everything that's distinct about southeast asia, i felt truly represented as an indonesian like we got similar things like everything u've shown in the video and i feel this sense of pride. you're really brilliant i love this and i love you!!!!

I love the flash backs from 2014 VS. Today! So amazing to have healthy childhood memories that aren’t suppressed from traumas. LOVE YOU MAIIIIII

Okay but like the editing for a while has been so good and the shots look so beautiful, literally every video you have looks like a movie😭😭❤️, we see the effort

Mai, you are truly an inspiration, not only to me, but all of your followers. you are enigmatic, clever, funny, kind, and we are SO LUCKY that you are available to us on youtube. WE LOVE YOU MAIIIII

I feel like there’s nothing like being able to travel to the country/ or countries that your family is from, it’s a blessing and privilege at least u feel :) looking forward to watching this video ❤️🙏🏽

this has got to be one of my favorite vlogs from you, I love how you bring old footage to us to represent how much you grew over the years and still continue what you do!

Mai never disappoints. She ATE this video!! I’ve been a fan for about 3 years now and all I can say is that I’m so proud of you! You have grown sooo much, but for the best reasons! You dedicate so much into your videos and it shows. The quality is phenomenal. You have inspired me in ways that nobody else has. I really hope you know how appreciated and loved you are. Congratulations Mai on growing the Phamily. LOVE YOU ALWAYS 🫶🏻💞

I love how real you are and still embracing your own culture , doing it with your family staying in your home roots. crazy how far you came from watching you so long so proud 🥰 💕

Maybe as someone who’s Vietnamese I’m biased but this is one of my fav videos on KZread not only showing this beautiful country but ur commentary, using the language, your family is so funny, the scuba diving and jetskiing was so cool!!! and just everything was so engaging

you are so genuine in her Mai, this is honestly my favorite vlog of yours.

Mai you clearly look genuinely happy in this vlog, it's so nice hearing good stories about your childhood compared to the bad ones out you have told us with you moving out at an early age etc... It's so nice seeing you happy❤

CONGRATULATIONS ON 3M SUBSCRIBERS! Thank you for inspiring me throughout these years. Love you sm!

It’s always a great feeling to be back in the motherland ❤. Thanks for presenting your country in a casual and positive manner!

I’m so glad you went.. you lit up and were inspired like I’ve never seen before! So special.

It truly is such a beautiful thing seeing core memories for you and experiencing them in your POV. It’s easy to see why you have 3mil!!!! This is so pure and it’s amazing to see you teach us and explain to us the way that you grew up! Simply so natural ! It’s giving vlog meets documentary

you inspire me in so many ways Mai. i scrolled the other day to see what was the first video i seen of you and it was 4 years ago 😭 you've grown so much and i'm inspired to be like you fr, ilysm Mai ❤️ i definitely hope you meet you one day in nyc. keep doing what you’re doing, you inspire more people than you know 🫶🏼 congrats on 3M babes! 🩷 there’s more to come

This was such a cinematic video Mai! It's nice to see the your perspective of the culture and how the people live in Vietnam in contrast to how you live in NYC. And your experience seems so wholesome. I realty enjoyed this x

it’s so refreshing to see how the place I grew up at has changed after not visiting for years but I do really miss going to vietnam, thank you for sharing ur viet trip with us!! ❤

Congratulations on 3M Mai!!🎉You and your gran are the duo we never knew we needed! Twinning in the hats❤😍

CONGRATULATIONS ON 3 MILLION MAI!!!! i was lowkey getting emotional yesterday cause I was so happy for you. you truly deserve every good thing coming your way! you inspire me so much and I will always support you😊💃🏾

been having a really bad turn with my anxiety today and i cant even explain how much this calmed me down, i knew Vietnam was pretty but i didnt know it was THIS pretty, thank you for showing us Mai!!

I loved seeing this! I’m south Asian and there are so many similarities I saw in this video to my parents home country! The crazy traffic, washrooms, small shops and the vibe is so similar! I think this is my favorite vlog from you! 💖

When I went to vietnam as a kid i went to all of the places you went to in this vlog. It feels so good rewatching all these memories and letting them flow back to you. Im so glad you reached 3M Mai, you deserve it 110%!!

OMG! Vietnam looks really impressive, the culture, food, views... The way you embrace and re-explore your culture is also so inspiring. Most people on the internet show just American way aesthetic things and moments. So seeing you represent different cultures and places so precious to me.

So proud of you Mai for how far you have come and will continue to go! youre amazing!

I love that you went straight to your roots. Vietnam looks like an awesome country. I feel like the people look very friendly.

thank you so much mai for showing us the different culture and how different things are for them there! it’s honestly amazing seeing it 💕

watching the memories you made with your grandma and the variety of cultural experiences was really beautiful, thank you for sharing!

as a proud viet girl, i am so happy to see you embrace your culture!!! love you chi mai!!

Hi Mai ! I love watching your videos

happy 3 mil mai! I’m honestly so proud of you, although I haven’t rlly commented on ur vids, you’ve always been my comfort, positive yter to watch. every time you post it gives me a sense of safety and thank you for everything x

Literally never fails to put a smile on our faces congratulations on 3M Mai love you ❤

This video made me emotional. So proud of how far you've come! I'd love to see you vlogging, like a full vlog in vietnamese some day ❤

just a reminder that sometimes bargaining/haggling isnt necessary! esp as an influencer, paying in full can actually help these vendors bc the rent isnt cheap and the goods they sell arent niche so getting a solid customer base is really tough. you mentioned in your video previously that you want to help uplift others, so lets start from people who need it the most

This is my favorite travel video of yours omg, as someone who's also visiting their home country not so often i felt everything you're feeling and it feels so nice to watch someone connect back to their childhood/roots

the culture is so beautiful

Love this video, love your vibe. I think this trip was a great way for you to heal some of that inner trauma from childhood. It clearly brought back a lot of good memories.

The whole video has such a relaxing vibe and I just love how much one can learn about this amazing culture. Love you Mai❤
